A single nail art appointment can take two to three hours. When a client doesn't show up, you don't just lose a slot — you lose most of an artist's working day. Bukujanji is a nail salon booking app built for exactly this: clients pick their own time on your online booking page, pay a deposit via QRIS as they book, and get automatic WhatsApp reminders before their appointment. Every artist's schedule stays organized, client records live in one place, and you get to focus on nails — not on answering DMs one by one.
Nail art appointments run 1.5 to 3 hours. When a client cancels without notice, a slot that long is nearly impossible to refill on short notice. Without an upfront deposit, nothing holds the client to their commitment.
Reference photos keep pouring in, but the actual appointments live in your head or in chats that scroll away. Two clients can both believe they booked the same time slot — and you find out when they both walk in.
Requesting bank transfers one by one and checking your account for each payment eats up hours. Meanwhile, favorite colors, nail shapes, and design history are scattered across chats — gone the moment you switch phones or change admins.
Set a different duration for every service — 60 minutes for gel polish, three hours for detailed nail art. The calendar blocks out exactly that much time, so long appointments never overlap with other bookings.
Clients pay a deposit or the full amount as they book, via QRIS, GoPay, or bank transfer through Midtrans. Long slots stay protected by real commitment — and you never chase payment proof again.
Each artist gets their own calendar. Clients choose their favorite artist when booking, you see the whole team's workload at a glance — and your admin can add manual bookings from the dashboard.
Your free outlet page on bukujanji.com showcases a photo gallery and client reviews. Display your best nail art so prospects searching on Google see the quality of your work before they ever message you.
Every client's records live in one place, complete with visit history. You know exactly what each client had done before, so every return visit feels personal — not like starting over in a new chat.
The AI chatbot answers client questions on WhatsApp and your website chat, and even takes bookings straight from the conversation. Reference photos still come in — but the schedule now lands in your system.
Create an account at merchant.bukujanji.com/register — no credit card, no setup fee. Fill in your studio profile and your outlet page is ready to use.
Add your service menu with each service's own duration — from a quick gel polish to hours-long detailed nail art — then set each artist's working schedule.
Connect online payments through Midtrans so clients can pay deposits via QRIS, GoPay, or bank transfer while booking. Your long slots are now backed by commitment.
Put your outlet page link in your Instagram bio and DM replies. Clients pick a time, pay the deposit, and get confirmation — no long back-and-forth needed.
Bukujanji's core system is free to use: the online booking calendar, per-artist schedules, client database, outlet page with gallery, and sales dashboard. There are no monthly fees, no setup costs, and no credit card required. Bukujanji only takes a small profit share on each successful transaction — if your studio has a quiet week, you pay nothing. It works for brand-new studios and busy ones alike.
Start free with the core system, then add only what your studio actually needs. Everything is optional — from WhatsApp reminders that cut no-shows on long appointments to a branded outlet website that strengthens how your studio shows up online.
Automatic reminders go out ahead of each nail appointment, plus notifications when a membership is about to expire. Manual reminders remain free.
Your own studio website with its own URL, 5 design templates, direct online booking, and SEO — your nail gallery, presented professionally on Google.
Send mass promo campaigns — say, weekday-slot discounts — to your client list using official Meta-approved templates.
Reminders and blasts are sent from your studio's own WhatsApp Business number through Meta's official API — not from a Bukujanji number.
Message credits for the AI Assistant that answers clients and takes bookings over WhatsApp — even while you're in the middle of a set.
Attendance and HR for your artist team: selfie or QR clock-in, with automatic payroll calculated every month.
Nail art is unlike most salon work: a single appointment can run 1.5 to 3 hours. That means one no-show doesn't just cost you a slot — it wipes out a large chunk of an artist's working day. As long as bookings live in Instagram DMs and mental notes, the risk keeps repeating: schedules scatter, clients forget, and you have no way to secure commitment before the day arrives. A nail salon booking app closes that gap with a system you can actually rely on.
The symptoms are easy to spot: DMs full of reference photos but no single record of who's coming when, walk-ins arriving while the chair is promised to someone else, and deposits requested manually by bank transfer that you verify one at a time. With Bukujanji, clients pick a slot from a calendar that is always accurate, pay their deposit on the spot, and get a reminder before the appointment. Instagram stays where design conversations happen — scheduling and payment move into the system.
Most of the options you'll find are global software: English-only interfaces, dollar pricing, and no support for QRIS or WhatsApp — the two things Indonesian clients actually use. Bukujanji was built for the Indonesian market from day one: QRIS and GoPay payments, WhatsApp reminders, Rupiah pricing, and a team at PT Kreatif Sistem Teknologi in Jakarta. For a local nail studio, that difference shows up every single day.
Good nail studio software has to understand how a nail studio actually runs. In Bukujanji, every service carries its own duration — a 45-minute express manicure, a two-hour gel extension, a three-hour hand-painted set. The calendar blocks out exactly that much time, so appointments never overlap. Each nail artist also gets their own schedule: clients pick their favorite artist while booking, and you manage everyone's working days and hours from a single dashboard.
The feature that matters most for long slots: online deposits. Through the Midtrans integration, clients can pay a deposit or the full amount while booking — via QRIS, GoPay, or bank transfer with BCA, BNI, BRI, Mandiri, and Permata. A client who has paid a deposit is far more committed to showing up, and tends to give earlier notice when plans change. No more sending account numbers over chat, waiting for transfer screenshots, and matching them against bank statements — everything is recorded automatically on your dashboard.
Your nail work is your best marketing asset — but if it only lives in an Instagram feed, it won't help people who search Google for a nail studio near them find you. Every Bukujanji merchant gets a free outlet page on bukujanji.com, complete with a photo gallery and client reviews. Upload your best sets, collect reviews from happy clients, and the page works as a storefront that search engines can actually discover — not just another social media account.
When you're ready to go further, the Website Outlet add-on (from Rp149,000/mo) gives your studio a website with its own URL, five design templates, and SEO built in. Prospects who find you can book online right from that page — browse the gallery, choose a service and an artist, pay the deposit, done. One seamless path from discovery to a locked-in appointment, no DMs required. Your studio's brand also comes across far more professionally to first-time visitors.
The real value of a nail studio appointment app shows after the first booking. Bukujanji's client database keeps every client's visit history, so you know when they last came in and which services they chose. With the WhatsApp Reminder add-on — prepaid tokens, no monthly fee — automatic reminders go out ahead of each appointment, cutting no-shows on your longest slots. Manual reminders are even free, which suits studios that are just getting started.
For regulars, sell session packages or memberships — say, a gel maintenance package that covers several visits, valid across branches if you run more than one location. The system tracks remaining sessions, and expiring-membership notifications can go out via WhatsApp Reminder. Meanwhile, the AI Assistant answers questions and takes bookings straight from WhatsApp chat — clients still feel personally looked after, and you never have to reach for your phone mid-set.
